This sort of factual advertising is worthless. It just makes smoking look edgy and glamorous to teens - it's really making tobacco companies promote their products.
The effective anti-smoking ad by the FDA go used Brooke Shields go. It featured a pimple-faced unattractive loser of a boy with a cigarette dangling from his mouth and a real porker of an unattractive girl with a dangling cigarette dropping ashes, then Brooke came on with "Smoking is so cool" and rolled her eyes back in her head. The tobacco industry was outraged and got their congress critters to make the FDA kill the ad because "Brooke Shields was an unsuitable role model."
Bias disclaimer: I have lost my two dearests college friends to cigarettes, both smokers, the wife from lung cancer, the husband now dying from COPD. I've also lost a very dear grandfather figure to cigarettes (lung cancer.) I can almost believe/hope-for a literal Hell because of the tobacco industry and their paid political lackeys.
...why are they still sold? I know it is about money and tax revenue, but the overall cost likely does not outweigh these 'benefits'. Make cigs illegal and stop selling them or at least quadrupel the tax on them and add a 5$ deposit for each cigarette butt, package, and lighter. That way the world will be much cleaner
Lobbying. The tobacco industry is too powerful because too many people smoke. You can't get enough laws passed to reduce their foothold on politics. Everyone would be better off if tobacco was labeled a baby killing poison but no one has the political clout to take on big tobacco to get that label made. It took generations just to get people to stop smoking inside. The Tobacco industry leans on the fact that the government can't prevent people from doing harmful things and they lean on saying "We're just another dangerous thing like skateboarding or alcohol we should be just a legal and adults and decide for themselves."
Force tobacco companies to broadcast ads against themselves on their own expense, that's weird. They will obviously attempt to make the ads as unimpactful as possible,
that's why originally they were forced to include specific language like "We deliberately lied to the American public for years". You can't really work around that. I mean it was unusual and a bit weird but who else should foot the bill. Unfortunately they were able to remove all the effect parts of the ad.
have you seen those ads? When I first heard about how the anti smoking ads from the smoking companies would have to be aired I thought it would be interesting. Because you figure they don't want to do this (I forgot these were the ads from YEARS ago that I forgot never actually happened) and so it's kinda like OJ putting on the glove. You do everything in your power to make sure they won't fit.
I saw the ad and it's the opposite of a commercial. It's bland, it's boring it's repetitive. It does everything in it's power to make sure you don't notice, remember or understand what it's saying and what it's message it. And it succeeds. I could barely keep it straight and I knew going in what it was. It was if all the talent of the commercial advertising industry was used in reverse. It wasn't even scary bland just utterly forgettable.
I then read how they won piece by piece of the original settlement. They didn't have to admit they deliberately lied, They didn't have to use this phrase or that phrase. and I understood. They nickle and dimed the commercial until they could make that utter trash-bin of a 30 second spot and somehow that make sup for the lives they've cost. They turned a loss into a win. They pulled victory from the jaws of defeat because what I saw isn't going to mean anything to anyone. Which completely defeated the point of the lawsuit.
Nope. a first generation Indian immigrant watching FullHouse. that's why it's so stranger. I understand the ones who watch Friends and the ones who watch The Office it's just this one dude who watches the original Full House. I haven't care enough to ask him but I notice.
exactly.
A facebook IQ link would be more interesting. You could make a much better argument that facebook can be used to measure some aspect of populations globally and get actual interesting populations. again not complete populations is facebook had that kind of penetration they wouldn't be creating initiative to bring facebook aka "the internet" to the global south.
the massive datasets from these online games could be used to assess population-level cognitive health in real-time across the globe.
I mean do people really think entire populations play LoL everywhere around the globe? You're talking a really really limited data set. I mean event the simple tech barrier (has computer or money to regularly visit a cyber cafe) is enough to remove a LOT of people from your supposed "population".
There's a difference between watching at work and watching while working. In my department (engineering) there's a lot of people who watch netflix at work I'd say there are about 36-40 people in our office space and I'd say a good 15 of them I see watching netflix maybe 10-12 of them binge. But only 2-3 do it while working. Most people here work and then when they're off the clock or on their lunch break they binge a few episodes of Friends or oddly enough lately Full House. I swear to you 1st gen people have the oddest tastes in American television. The third genners are typically watching random netflix anime or the hyper shows but the first gen guys and girls it's Friends and Full House. I'd have thought The office would be showing up all the time but not since last year for whatever reason.
James Watson is a moron. he's a second rate scientist but a completely and total moron who doesn't know how genetics work on a population level. Sure he was "critical" in finding out how genes are formed but he i grossly mistaken in how they function.
No black people aren't more gifted athletically. They're just only allowed to succeed athletically so they start younger they try harder and they live eat and breathe athletics because it's the only way they know how to succeed.
I swear it's like designers aren't even human sometimes. The way they design away spaces that are extremely useful. I get very frustrated with stuff like that.
Not when you have bigger concerns like Arrow keys (which ideally should be identical be arranged in a triangle and should have gap space like this. so you can actually feel where they are without looking properly. Not enlarged to gap fill like this. I'd be more concerned about having two alts and two controls because my sister's laptop only has one of one of those and it's a bloody nightmare every time I use her computer.
I'm completely keyspacing agnostic. The way i figure it keyspacing helps the keylighting to show up. So I think I might prefer to have it than not. Also I'm medically what you call a giant. So I tend to prefer the larger keyboards for a laptop.
Had the truck had the same sensing equipment that the shuttle has the accident would have been avoided.
If the shuttle had the same sensing equipment as the truck has the accident would have been avoided (ftfy). A human would have laid into the horn as the truck got closer to alert him hes about to hit someone. A human would also have seen the truck backing in and yielded a larger room for error. An alert human may also see the situation that they could quickly back up a bit before the truck hit them. (per article trucker was cited for illegal backing (up?). This isn't ready in my opinion, but a nice alpha test though.
Um maybe you don't know how to read. It's clearly ready. It just works in only this one highly specific scenario that requires a complete paradigm shift in how the world works to come true. That means ready.
I used to read about eight a month. But for the past two maybe three months. Maybe one total. I've been slammed at work. I barely have time to pass out at night while watching Plex. Friend of mine and I exchanged books. I gave her The Slap and she gave me Grendal. Grendal is like 1/4th the side and she's finished her book and I'm barely 10 pages into mine.
The way video game companies constantly promise their games a) look as good as the trailer b) won't have DLC and c) won't be broken alphas non functional until patched.
The way Trump promised Mexico would pay for the wall.
The way McDonalds promised The EggMcMuffin wasn't just pure egg and nothing but. That they weren't advertising in schools and more.
women are more likely then men to be obese, so shaming them with pink cupcakes or anything else stereotypically feminine is fine. quit stuffing yer face, ya cows!
You were the one who insisted that it was dominated by women. You are the one who suggested it was a contest
right now I really have no need for a VPN at the moment
Congratulations! You don't need a VPN, so don't get one yet.
Yeah but how well does a 14 year old even know their requirements. They might be in the mindset of "Hey Torrenting works and i haven't gotten an email. I don't *need* it"
I think especially in a requirements -centric approach it's essential to first define the requirements. She might have needs she hasn't even thought of yet. That might be the reason she sent the question in the first place.
You're the one that's failing at logic. Fat people are on foodstamps is not the same thing as Food Stamp people are fat. You can't state one and then defend it with the other. And again I'm not denying obesity isn't an issue within the food stamp community. I'm denying they sign up (metaphorically) for obesity. Healthy food is expensive and on food stamps it's more expensive. That is my point.
I would assume 'Aisle filling' means morbid obesity, and it is two to one in the link I provided. Not sure why the need to explain something that just is.
Yes in a link that talks about overweight and obesity and extreme obesity I'm just supposed to assume Aisle filling only meant one category. and specifically only that category and not the collection. Especially since the original phrase you're talking about said "women are more likely than men to be obese". Which actually only has a 8:7 ratio (40.4% to 35%) again hardly dominating.
The word morbid doesn't appear in your link but the phrase extreme obesity is. Specifically
Extreme obesity was higher in women (9.9 percent) than men (5.5 percent)
2:1 only because we're talking about a little over 5 percent vs a little under 10 percent. Hardly dominating.
Honestly you're just pushing goalposts and failing at it.
a) you're assuming people are stuffing themselves with gas station snacks which isn't exactly true.
b) you're assuming all the fat people are on food stamps.
c) you're assuming that healthier options are as easily available in the same price range.
Nobody will be able to do anything then, since something will always trigger somebody in some way.
No that's not the way triggered works. It doesn't mean you can't do it. It just means you have to mindful of people who would be affected. Sometimes that means giving them a way out. Sometimes that means just telling them before you start. It doesn't mean you can't do it.

My comment disappeared, so I'll repeat.
No, because you can measure like a god in one category and like a dunce in the rest. AI.
But it does point out that IQ is mostly a measurement of your performance in 'fetch and correlate'. Like AI.
your comment didn't disappear.
